Update instructions:

Step #1: Download New Software

Insert a USB flash drive (such as the one supplied with your TC model cutter/trimmer) into your computer and create (or locate if exists) a folder called "CMC".

In the CMC folder, create (or locate if exists) a folder called "update".

The "update" folder MUST NOT contain any files with the ".mot" extension. All ".mot" files must be removed or renamed to a different file extension in order for the update to work properly.

Download the desired software file from this page by clicking the appropriate "download" button, then move the newly downloaded ".mot" file into the "update" folder.
Alternatively, it may be easier to right click on the appropriate download button and choose "save link as", "save target as", or "download linked file as" (depending on your browser), then locate and select the "update" folder as the destination.

When finished downloading, the file and path should be something like this:
(usb drive):\CMC\update\EE3400_xx-xx-xxxx.mot IMPORTANT! There must be ONLY ONE ".mot" file in the "update" folder in order for the update to work properly.

Step #2: Backup Machine Data and Settings

Switch the machine power ON and make note of the compiled date shown on the startup screen. NOTE: If the compiled date is PRIOR to Aug 30 2016, you MUST perform the backup and restore procedures below or else damage to your machine could result! For all other compiled dates, it is always a good practice to perform this backup as a precaution.

Press "No Preset".

If you have jobs stored in machine memory that you would like to keep, turn the power off, insert a USB flash drive in the machine, turn the power back on and press "No Preset". From the top pull-down menu select "Job" -> "Existing Job" then click the "Copy All" button and follow the prompts on the screen to copy the jobs to the USB drive.

From the top pull-down menu, select "Maintenance" -> "Setup" then click on the "Service Info" tab.

The EE3400_xx-xx-xxxx.mot filename of the file downloaded in Step #1 should be displayed under the progress bar.

Press the "Load Software" button and wait for the progress bar to turn 100% green.

Press the "Program Flash" button. After about 1 to 3 minutes the machine will automatically reboot. IMPORTANT! DO NOT TURN OFF POWER DURING THE PROGRAM FLASH PROCESS!
If power is lost during this process, the flash programming could fail and the display assembly will have to be sent to Challenge Machinery to be reset.

Step #4: Restore Machine Data and Settings

NOTE: If the compiled date from Step #2 was PRIOR to Aug 30 2016, you must perform the restore procedures below or else damage to your machine could result! For all other compiled dates, it is a good practice to check the settings below to make sure they are set properly.

Switch the machine power ON and press the "No Preset" button.

From the top pull-down menu, select "Maintenance" -> "Setup" then click on the "Service Info" tab.

Select the "Options & Updates" tab and set the values in this screen to match the values recorded in the backup procedure (Step #2). Then click on the "Load Defaults" button (required only if compiled date from Step #2 was prior to Aug 30 2016).

Click the "Save & Exit" icon to save the settings in this tab.

Switch the machine power OFF and then back ON and press the "Preset" button.

Re-enter the Setup screen as described in steps b) & c), then set the values in the other six tab/screens to match the values recorded in the backup procedure (Step #2). In order to set the accuracy value, follow the instructions on the screen.

Click on the “Save & Exit” button to save your changes.

To restore jobs from the USB drive, click "Job" -> "Existing Job" from the top pull-down menu, then click the "Copy All" button and follow the prompts on the screen to copy the jobs back to the machine memory.
